YoloinOhio Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This is interesting ... https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/06/09/route-breakdown-slants/ PFF charted every route run last year. Watkins ran 70 slants in 2014 (4th most in NFL), less than 20 targets, but 9th most yards (161) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayoffsPlease Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This is interesting ... https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/06/09/route-breakdown-slants/ PFF charted every route run last year. Watkins ran 70 slants in 2014 (4th most in NFL), less than 20 targets, but 9th most yards (161) Seems as though PFF decided that YPRR (Yards per route run) was the best measure for success here. Sammy didn't fare that well with that stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm all for any route that gets him the ball quickly in space. Bring on the slants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Interesting yes.. What conclusions can be drawn from it.... Dunnoi thought that's what you guys are for! I like Woods on the slant route too. I dislike Orton but he threw a nice slant. Edited June 10, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmurraydowntown Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not sure how this is important but I'm certain that the simple college offense we ran last season will not reappear again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not sure how this is important but I'm certain that the simple college offense we ran last season will not reappear again soon.I don't think many colleges even ran our offense last year.

Gugny Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'd like to know how many catchable balls he laid up on. Not accusing him of doing it a lot ... I'd just be interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underling: "Sir, I've just looked over my assignment charting the passing routes of all receivers in the NFL... and I think there may have been a minor oversight..." Boss: "Go on..." Underling: "Well, sir, the interns have all left for vacation as you know..." Boss: "Yes..." Underling: "Ummm... Well, sir... I know you couldn't possibly have intended for me to actually watch 16 Buffalo Bills games..." Boss: "Oh, good Gods, heavens no. We'd be in breach of all sorts of labor laws. Listen, no one else watches those games either, and their fan base mostly considers themselves to be statistics wonks. Just make up some absurd counting stats, but make sure to conclude that they've done poorly with whatever final matrix you use to evaluate competency. That'll keep those silly !@#$ers apoplectic for three weeks before they break anything down for themselves. Besides... Doug Marrone. There's nothing that moron wouldn't have done." Underling: "You mean..." Both: (share a knowing look) Both in unison: "Just give it to them!!!" Both: (side splitting laughter) fin Edited June 10, 2015 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just be interested to know. 26 where he completely laid up. 17 where he only laid up a little. 12 where he almost laid up a little, but didn't. Hope that clarifies it for you. GO BILLS!!!

Beerball Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We know he ran 70. We know he was targeted less than 20 times. We know that of the 8 players with more yards 5 were targeted more than Watkins. We know that yards per route run means absolutely diddlysquatjackshit. Not shooting the messenger, but, I really don't get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 yes! This thread has a purpose now. Thanks Wiz! I think I took too much time doing this. A little off in some spots though. Hey fans, the bills have got together the spotlights hitting Rexy and he's gonna make 'em better the playoffs are almost in sight so stick around You're gonna hear the 12th man like a wall of sound Say, Percy and Woods, have you seen them yet OH but the true hot route, s-s-s-s-sammy and the slant Oh but their fast and wide open oh Sammy is in the seam He's got electric moves, got great hands too I think they're gonna run a bubble screen oh.
